A Taste

Gallery Leave a comment

I am writing from recall from early morning – 3:00 ish.  The Little One had stirred hungry. So, I fetched him from his crib, and while he gulped down eight ounces of formula snug between us, love and blessings caressed my thoughts.

Thoughts of the difference from now and then. Thoughts of how I didn’t know. Thoughts I wasn’t then but now am grateful. Thank You, LORD GOD. Not that I got to but I get to.

I get to be free. I get to be kind. I get to be patient. I get to be grateful. I get to be happy. I get to overcome me! I get to love you!

Nothing about this Jesus Life is I GOT TO.
It’s all I GET TO!
It’s Freedom.
This is what freedom in Christ in this moment feels like.
I get to love this baby.
I get to hear him drink in nourishment.
I get to desire the sincere milk of the Word.  See 1 Peter 2:2-4.
I get to snuggle with this little package of love.
I get to!
A life of I get to. It’s a taste of Heaven on earth!

I GET TO!
Got it?
Good. :)

You Are Invited

Heaven (salvation) The Wedding Supper.

GOD is simultaneously all inclusive and certain exclusive.

He has sent and continues to send His invitation to ALL to come to His Heaven. Everyone is invited. And included with His invitation is (clothing) The Garment He purchased and packaged specifically and precisely for the event for each Invitee.
Therefore, Any One attempting to gain admittance without the wearing of  The King’s Garment will be turned away. No admittance. No exceptions.
Got it?

What do you mean it’s not fair?
What do you mean, you want to wear clothes of your own choosing?
You do.
And we do every day that we refuse to believe GOD.

You see we don’t get to choose what is sin and what is not sin. To do so is man proclaiming himself to be GOD.
And no man (or woman or child) persisting in proclaiming himself (herself) to be god will enter The Kingdom of GOD (Heaven).
It’s as simple and inclusive and exclusive as that.

 Revelation 22: 16 I, Yeshua, have sent My angel to testify these things to you for My communities. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

17 The Ruach and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come—let the one who wishes freely take the water of life!  source

If You Will

Oh yes! This is good!

More 1 Timothy 2:1

First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people,   source

Petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving.
Strong’s was helpful.

Petitions: Asking, begging, if you please, for such things as we need and lack.  If you will consider this with me, perhaps it is akin to when we sign a petition to support a change we believe needs to be. So, could it be when we petition GOD we are saying we are willing to work with You LORD for this change we are petitioning? This helps me. I hope it does you.

Prayers: That was easy. Addressing GOD. Talking, conversing with GOD. Speaking and listening to GOD; that’s prayer.

Intercessions: Now, this one! A falling in with
Is it just me or are you tracking this with me?
A coming together; to visit. A falling in with.
Could we consider that Intercession is a prayer that says, “Father, I’d like to visit with YOU about this matter for my sister, for my brother, for my friend, for a stranger I saw on the street?
This encourages me. I hope it does you too.

Thanksgiving: Giving thanks, mindful of favors, grateful, thankful
Just as we expected, right? Do you like: mindful of favors? Does that say to you as it does to me in prayer we can and should be mindful of the abundant favor GOD has lavished upon us? Me too!

Until next time ~ ~ ~

Hey, Y’all

I think I am accurate when I write that I am in the Winter of my living, and oddly it’s gloriously full, hence I am not here as often I wish.

1 Timothy 2. It’s Sunday’s text for Sunday School.

1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people, 2 for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. source

A little KWT paraphrase here: First of all; since we have had the introduction, now we get to some doctrine detail. And we start with prayer. How many of you know that prayer is the first step to a healthy resolution — of anything? And how many of us know we do not have GOD’s permission to deem any unworthy of our prayers?

ALL PEOPLE.
All people need prayer.

I have no clue as to the author but the saying I like: ” I need the prayer and you need the practice.”

June 2 was pray for the President day. It was Biblical on Sunday and it’s Biblical today; our Text tells us so.

Who else in your personal world needs prayer today? Have you prayed for them? It’s not too late . . .  yet.
